Night gradually enveloped the earth.

After the Jinwuwei army gathered together, they began to make rice.

After Zhan Xingchang and Luo Quan explained the hot air balloon, Luo Quan was so shocked that he could hardly close his mouth from ear to ear.

“This hot air balloon is so magical. If it had it, wouldn’t all the troops be able to rescue people from it?” Luo Quan said.

Zhan Xingchang smiled bitterly and said, “That’s not the case. This hot air balloon still has many restrictions and is not so easy to control.”

This time King Qi also made a dangerous move. It would be great if Liang Yubin and his two men could deliver the news in time.

But if they can’t, they can only attack the city by force.

While the two were talking, Luo Hong suddenly pointed to the sky not far away and said, “Look, the hot air balloon is back.”

Hearing this, Zhan Xingchang looked in the direction Luo Hong was pointing, and sure enough, there was a black spot in the sky. Floating, it was coming towards them.

Only then did Zhan Xingchang realize that at some point, the wind direction seemed to have changed. It was southerly in the morning, but now it was northerly.

Yes, the season is about to enter autumn, and now it is time for the north wind to blow.

“God bless you.” Zhan Xingchang said happily.

Luo Quan and Luo Hong were also overjoyed.

At this time, Liang Yubin and He Cheng had just arrived in Fencheng with a hot air balloon. Just like in Jizhou City, they dropped the news in Fencheng.

At the same time, they saw the Forbidden Army stationed outside Fen City.

Climbing high and looking, they could see very far. At this time, they could clearly see the layout of the battlefield.

Liang Yubin was controlling the hot air balloon, while He Cheng was busy drawing a map of the barbarian forces.

The north wind became stronger and stronger, and they quickly left Fencheng and headed towards the Forbidden Army’s station. This time they came back with difficulty, but they believed that they might not be so lucky if they were given another chance.

The hot air balloon slowly floated towards the camp. When it was about to reach the camp, Liang Yubin said: “Throw the rope down quickly, or we will fly away again.”

At this time, they were still some distance away from the camp. Because they could not control it accurately, in fact They were at least one mile away from the camp. It could be said that they would pass by the camp if they continued flying.

He Cheng put away the drawings and began to prepare the rope.

“I hope Governor Zhan has arrived, otherwise these forbidden troops won’t know how to hold us back.” He Cheng muttered.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a line of smoke rising from the camp, and at the same time a hundred cavalry galloped towards them.

Seeing this scene, the two were overjoyed. This meant that the Qingzhou Army had arrived at the camp, and they immediately lowered the rope.

Suddenly, a rope hung down from each of the four directions of the hanging basket.

The cavalry saw this and chased the rope. When they were chasing the hot air balloon, a cavalry suddenly grabbed the rope of the hot air balloon.

But the power of the hot air balloon was too great, and he was suddenly pulled up immediately.

The other cavalrymen were shocked and grabbed other ropes. Some people grabbed the cavalryman who was about to be dragged away.

After grabbing the rope, these cavalrymen jumped off their horses one by one, and a hundred people pulled the rope and headed towards the camp.

Someone dragged the hot air balloon towards the camp. At this time, the observing barbarians once again confirmed that this strange thing belonged to the Qingzhou Army.

When they arrived at the camp, Chen Yubin and He Cheng began to extinguish the flame in the burner, and then the hot air balloon slowly descended.

The entire Jinwuwei camp’s soldiers and generals looked stunned. This hot air balloon was too shocking for them.

They dare not even think about such things as God.

“Prefect Zhan, we have conveyed the news.” Chen Yubin jumped off the hot air balloon and said to Zhan Xingchang.

“Very good. When this battle is over, I will definitely ask for credit from His Highness.” Zhan Xingchang said excitedly.

The message delivered by the two of them was very simple. The message told Niu Ben that they would use the beacon fire outside the city as a signal. If three beacon fires went up, it would be time to launch an attack.

After Liang Yubin came down, Luo Quan and a group of Jinwu guards surrounded the hot air balloon and kept pointing at it.

He Cheng stopped the people who were trying to touch the hot air balloon and said, “Don’t touch this randomly. I will take off tomorrow to observe the battlefield for you.”

“Observing the battlefield? What’s going on?” Luo Quan asked.

Zhan Xingchang explained: “As the saying goes, the function of the hot air balloon is not only to convey news. Before the battle, a flag carrier is sent to board the hot air balloon to observe the layout of the battlefield, so that the barbarians can deploy their troops. The formation

can be seen

clearly. After all, there will be a melee of hundreds of thousands of troops tomorrow. It is very important to predict the enemy first and find the position of the barbarian artillery to suppress it in time.

, he said excitedly: “Can I go up there? In this way, I can command the army to change formations in time.”

The telescope still has limitations, and it is impossible to observe when it encounters obstacles, so Luo Quan can be so excited.

“Well…it’s better for me to get on. This hot air balloon is somewhat dangerous. I’m afraid the hot air balloon will fall if there is an accident.” Zhan Xingchang said.

Luo Quan suddenly became a little unhappy, “You are not afraid of danger, how can I be afraid of danger? Ten thousand armies passed through it, what should I, Luo Quan, be afraid of? Besides, if I lose the battle and lose everything, what will happen to me, Luo Quan, if I leave my life?” ?”

“Dad, why don’t I come?” Luo Hong volunteered.

“Go aside!” Luo Quan puffed his beard and stared, “What? You all look down on me as an old man, don’t you?”

Zhan Xingchang pondered for a moment. Although the hot air balloon is dangerous, this time the hot air balloon is pulled by soldiers. It won’t fly away, and nothing will happen if a thick layer of straw is placed under the hot air balloon.

So he said: “In this case, let’s ask the general to board the hot air balloon tomorrow to command the war.”

The food and grass in Fencheng will not last long, and the war cannot continue to drag on and must be resolved quickly.

The next day, when the sky was dark, the Jinwuwei camp became busy.

The soldiers looked very serious. They knew that a big battle was going to happen today.

Zhan Xingchang looked at the orderly Jinwu Guard and nodded frequently. This was indeed an elite soldier.

According to Luo Xin, this elite soldier was trained by Luo Quan. He often rushed to the border to fight against the barbarians. He was a veteran of many battles.

After discussing with Luo Quan last night, he prepared to lead the musketeers and cuirassiers as the central army to attack the south gate. At the same time, the beacon signal was used, and the Qingzhou Army in the city broke through the south gate to join them at the same time.

The Jinwu Guards serve as their flanks.

In his opinion, whether this war can be won depends on whether the Qingzhou Army can maximize its firepower. After all, the barbarians still have the advantage.

Although they could suppress the barbarians with the addition of King Yong’s army in terms of numbers, as Xiao Ming said, the only people he could trust in the entire Great Yu Kingdom were himself and the imperial army led by Luo Quan.

It’s a good thing that the other feudal princes didn’t stab him in the back.
